The ‘Candyman’ is back!

Jordan Peele breathes life anew into the famed and fearsome force with a revival that has everyone saying the legendary name. All over again.

The Oscar winner takes on producer and screenwriting duties, while on-boarding newcomer Nia DaCosta as director of this contemporary take on the classic.

In this version, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II plays the lead role of visual artist Anthony McCoy. 

Living in Chicago’s Cabrini Green neighborhood with girlfriend Brianna (Teyonah Parris), his life as an artist faces collapse due to the impact of gentrification.

Yet, when he meets elder native of the area who clues him up on the blood-spilling history of the Candyman, he’s provided inspiration that takes him on the most rollercoaster of journeys.

Nearly three years after reigning atop the Billboard 200 with her sophomore effort, ‘Hopeless Fountain Kingdom,’ Pop starlet Halsey  returned to the tally’s upper rankings with her tertiary album, the January 17th-released ‘Manic.’

Featuring contributions from the likes of BTS, Suga, Alanis Morissette, and more, the LP boasts multiple Billboard Hot 100 top 40 hits including the chart-topping ‘Without Me.’  The songs’ combined sales and streaming performances, in conjunction with their parent project’s favorable figures, have helped it become a mainstay in the album chart’s top 10 over a month after its debut.

Despite being bested by Eminem‘s surprise drop, ‘Music to be Murdered By,’ for the Billboard 200’s top spot, Halsey (born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane) has outrun the legendary rapper in the race to RIAA certification.

Despite earning praise aplenty from many of the 102 million who tuned in to watch, pole dancing, belly dancing, big big booties, and bared midriffs proved to be too much to bear for some viewers of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira‘s 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show – as evidenced by the whopping 1300+ complaints lodged against it to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The FCC – which acts as the United States’ “primary authority for communications law, regulation, and technological innovation” – recently revealed some of the grievances filed against the NFL and FOX (the network that broadcast the football championship) thanks to the ‘sexually charged’ showing of the two Latin superstars.
